was thinking about getting my faded trims painted the same colour as the car, which is silver.

a freind said it might affect my insurence as its a "modifcation"

Technically yes, as it's a modification. In reality, I doubt it.

The only problem you'll find is that if you have an accident, they'll only restore it back to 'factory', therefore you'd have some black plastics.

I hadn't declared my Depo's or debadge grill, which technically is a modification, but they didn't seem to car. When it was repaired, they replaced them with GM parts. Although admittedly the front end had been smashed in, they repair company did notice so the insurance company would have known.

All insurance companies are different though - so it's always best to check. That could be a reason for them not to pay out, in which time you'd be stuffed

Its not like they ask "what colour is your car?"

and you answer "well its blue with black bits on the bumpers"

cant see it making any difference to be honest
